Our Materials
Save time and resources with all-weather furniture that requires minimal maintenance to look great, year after year. Our ClimateTuff™ materials are engineered for demanding environments, delivering high-touch design with low-effort upkeep in every season.
Genuine POLYWOOD™ Lumber
Our proprietary lumber is crafted of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), an ultradurable and infinitely recyclable material. Available in POLYWOOD Signature™, Vintage™, and Select™ lumber grades, each offers rich, fade-resistant color options and unmatched outdoor durability.
Performance Fabric
Available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, our quick-dry cushions, seat pads, and pillows are made using high-quality fabrics from America’s leading outdoor textile mills.
All-Weather Sling
Our durable, breathable sling is engineered for strength, dimensional stability, and easy cleaning. Crafted of woven vinyl-coated polyester, it dries quickly and withstands mildew, UV rays, and tearing.
All-Weather Wicker
A woven HDPE fabrication, our all-weather wicker has a classic look with the same moisture and fade resistance as Genuine POLYWOOD™ lumber.
Powder-Coated Aluminum
Our high-performance aluminum frames are fully crafted in-house with premium materials and state-of-the-art technology. Inherently rustproof and highly resistant to corrosion, the UV-stable powder-coated finish is available in various matte, smooth-to-the-touch color options.
Marine-Grade Quality Hardware
Our 18-8 marine-grade quality stainless steel hardware—including all fasteners and glider bearings—is enhanced with a Xylan coating to resist corrosion in all climates.
